PUBLIC:

I provided responses to the posts, but I also wanted to put up a public response which all could see.

The person who calls Noventi "amateur hour" obviously has a bone to pick or otherwise has a strategic reason for trying to bash them. As I say in my response in agreement with the person who provided the positive review, I and my team work very closely with Giacomo and James, and to a lesser extent we've dealt with Masa and Pierluigi. They have been extremely helpful and have absolutely never hindered the progress of our company, which deals in areas quite different from Giacomo's and Jame's backgrounds. Noventi taps it's network to help entrepreneurs whenever possible; they understand that entrepreneurs sometimes have to zig where they thought would zag; they BELIEVE in their entrepreneurs; they provide constructive criticism and solid advice; they are flexible and supportive; in fact, they are downright nice, good people. They let the managers run the show, and they help when appropriate or when requested. As an entrepreneur, you can't go wrong with Noventi. When it's time to start the next company, I'll definitely come back to them.
